  • The Following Players Comprise the College Football Great Teams 2 Card Set
    COLLEGE FOOTBALL GREAT TEAMS OF THE PAST 2 SET ROSTER The following players comprise the College Football Great Teams 2 Card Set. The regular starters at each position are listed first and should be used most frequently. Realistic use of the players below will generate statistical results remarkably similar to those from real life. IMPORTANT: When a Red "K" appears in the R-column as the result on any kind of running play from scrimmage or on any return, roll the dice again, refer to the K-column, and use the number there for the result. When a player has a "K" in his R-column, he can never be used for kicking or punting. If the symbol "F-K" or "F-P" appears on a players card, it means that you use the K or P column when he recovers a fumble. Players in bold are starters. If there is a difference between the player's card and the roster sheet, always use the card information. The number in ()s after the player name is the number of cards that the player has in this set. See below for a more detailed explanation of new symbols on the cards. 1971 NEBRASKA 1971 NEBRASKA 1972 USC 1972 USC OFFENSE DEFENSE OFFENSE DEFENSE EB: Woody Cox End: John Adkins EB: Lynn Swann TA End: James Sims Johnny Rodgers (2) TA TB, OA Willie Harper Edesel Garrison Dale Mitchell Frosty Anderson Steve Manstedt John McKay Ed Powell Glen Garson TC John Hyland Dave Boulware (2) PA, KB, KOB Tackle: John Grant Tackle: Carl Johnson Tackle: Bill Janssen Chris Chaney Jeff Winans Daryl White Larry Jacobson Tackle: Steve Riley John Skiles Marvin Crenshaw John Dutton Pete Adams Glenn Byrd Al Austin LB: Jim Branch Cliff Culbreath LB: Richard Wood Guard: Keith Wortman Rich Glover Guard: Mike Ryan Monte Doris Dick Rupert Bob Terrio Allan Graf Charles Anthony Mike Beran Bruce Hauge Allan Gallaher Glen Henderson Bruce Weber Monte Johnson Booker Brown George Follett Center: Doug Dumler Pat Morell Don Morrison Ray Rodriguez John Kinsel John Peterson Mike McGirr Jim Stone ET: Jerry List CB: Jim Anderson TC Center: Dave Brown Tom Bohlinger Brent Longwell PC Joe Blahak Marty Patton CB: Charles Hinton TB.

  • Quarterback Andy Dalton Wechselt Zu Den Bears
    Quarterback Andy Dalton wechselt zu den Bears Die Chicago Bears werden Quarterback Andy Dalton mit einem Einjahresvertrag über 10 Millionen Dollar verpflichten. Das berichtet ESPN. Der Routinier wird eine Chance bekommen, weitere $3 Millionen durch Boni zu erhalten. Dalton wird sich den Bears anschließen, nachdem er die Saison 2020 bei den Dallas Cowboys verbracht hat. Er startete in 11 Spielen, nachdem er einen verletzten Dak Prescott ersetzt hatte, und beendete seine Saison mit 14 Touchdowns und acht Interceptions. Zuvor startete Dalton in 133 Spielen für die Cincinnati Bengals und führte sie in neun Jahren fünf Mal in die Playoffs. Cincinnati trennte sich im letzten Jahr von ihm, als Joe Burrow als erster im Draft ausgewählt wurde. Die Bears haben sich Dalton geschnappt, nachdem sie den Markt nach einemQuarterback durchsucht hatten. Sie hatten 2020 sowohl mit Mitchell Trubisky als auch mit Nick Foles zu kämpfen, und sowohl General Manager Ryan Pace als auch Head Coach Matt Nagy gaben nach der Saison zu, dass Chicago einen besseren Quarterback braucht. Foles bleibt bei den Bears unter Vertrag, während Trubisky ein Free Agent ist. Dalton hat in der Vergangenheit für Stabilität gesorgt, aber der 33-Jährige hat nie Starstatus erreicht. Er hat in nur einer Saison Pässe für 30 Touchdowns oder mehr geworfen, und er hat als Starter in den Playoffs alle vier Spiele verloren. Außerdem hat er nur eine Saison mit einem Passer Rating von über 92 abgeschlossen. Die Bears erreichten in der letzten Saison zum zweiten Mal in drei Jahren die Postseason, aber die Probleme in der Offense machten ihnen einen Strich durch die Rechnung.
